I hear if the kids don't do the suggested work Obama will use his fiery laserbeam eyes to tear out their insides in front of their classmates.
How is Obama making kids do school work?

The following are some of the more controversial pledges:
I pledge allegiance to the funk of the united funk of funkadelica.
If you really care about this, go with your child to class that day.
All you are doing is imagining what might happen -- living in some trumped up fear. That seems to be what Republicans who say they aren't Republicans do best these days.
ain't no muzlim socialist gonna inducktrinate my chillen with that book lernin'.
Yeah most of them are independents, or a former Obama supporter.
I went early to get my kid from school today. Elementary school in Plano, Texas. I asked what time would they be showing the Obama learning lesson. The girl went to get the principle. The principle looked stressed out when she came up to me. She said she ask for her school not to show the learning video. BUT she just got a e-mail from the school district wanting the parents to decide what kids should watch the video or not. She said that could change. The teachers would be let known what is going to happen and to keep in contact with them.

Hide your children! Hide them now! Before it's too late!
WFAA is reporting: • PLANO ISD says the presidential address "is not a component of the Plano ISD curriculum and is therefore not a mandatory activity. Viewing the broadcast is not a planned classroom activity for September 8." The district added that the speech will be recorded and available to students and teachers via a video library.
My kids school district is Birdville ISD. They're not showing it either.
warning to parents: teachers will be teaching kids about evolution this school year. creationists should be prepared to remove their childen from school on these days.
Good. It's laughable this guy wanted to give a learning lesson to our kids in school and thought noone would care. Serious. When he is done being president then he can become a teacher. Where does it say in this assholes job description he should teach our kids about education. I disagree with Obama on almost every subject. I'm sure education would be no different. He should have given the parents the information first. Now it's yet another political issue. Now the people are saying "you can't do that" Now the schools are having to choose sides. Now Mr I want to bring the country together just pushed us more apart.
I'll laugh my ass off if all he says is work hard and stay in school.
So would I because that would have been one boring ass hour.
"How does Obama inspire you?"
"Umm he makes me want to work hard and stay in school"
That's pretty much what I think it's going to be.So would I because that would have been one boring ass hour.

Just saw a thread over in the club that northside and northeast isd's aren't going to show the speech.
Oh, and apparently Rick Perry is "troubled" by this.
Such a horrible thing to preach the value of an education. The ing nerve of that god damn ######. How ing dare he teach our kids anything. ITS OUR JOB TO TEACH THEM NOTHING NOT HIS. I WON'T HAVE A BLACK MAN STAND UP AND DEMAND A BETTER WORLD FROM OUR YOUTH. NOT IN MY ING TOWN. NOT IN MY ING COUNTRY.
:PITCH INGFORKANDSTICKFIRE:
check out this paragraph.
you should watch the video.
What's on the video? Please share.
One more interesting note on this topic, Bush Sr. gave a speech like this back in 1991. Congressional democrats objected. Considering Clinton won in 92 and 96 I'd think it's safe to assume that the nation's school children did not become indoctrinated republicans as a result of Bush's speech.

One other note: I pointed out in this morning’s First Reading column that in 1991, then-President George Bush gave a similar national address to students as the one that Obama is planning for Tuesday. An astute commenter found a followup story in the Washington Post from the time that showed Democrats were quite critical, just as many conservative commentators have been regarding Obama’s speech.
From the Washington Post on Oct. 3, 1991:
House Democrats criticized President Bush yesterday for using Education Department funds to produce and broadcast a speech that he made Tuesday at a Northwest Washington junior high school.
The Democratic critics accused Bush of turning government money for education to his own political use, namely, an ongoing effort to inoculate himself against their charges of inattention to domestic issues. The speech at Alice Deal Junior High School, broadcast live on radio and television, urged students to study hard, avoid drugs and turn in troublemakers.
“The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising for the president, it should be helping us to produce smarter students,” House Majority Leader Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.) said. “And the president should be doing more about education than saying, ‘Lights, camera, action.’ “
Two House committees demanded that the department explain the use of its funds for the speech, an explanation that Deputy Secretary David T. Kearns provided late in the day in a letter to Rep. William D. Ford (D-Mich.), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee. Education Secretary Lamar Alexander was out of town.

obama in a black helicopter dropping gummy bears down to your re-education camp children.
The worst part about all of this isn't the message or who delivers it. It's that instead of allowing your kids to view his message then open up some dialogue about his thoughts vs. your own and so on. You simply chose to narrow the view of interpretation by removing a variable you know nothing about. Way to ing broaden the scope of parenting.
Dude, that goes both ways on this board............sort of like boutons and his sexuality.
Well...good reason why I didn't see anything about it on the portal.
I wonder which local districts will be airing this?
I will have to admit...some children don't have the support of a parent(s) and the only form of civility and learning they do receive is from the public schools they attend.
I have been exercising my opinion regarding this based solely on my involvement with my own children. Selfish indeed on my part. Rethinking... I have come to the conclusion that many children do need the encouragement of a high profile individual (regardless of political affiliation) in order to maybe help them stay in school instead of dropping out. I just hope it doesn't become an agenda based speech as well.
This will be a "hey kids, work hard and stay in school.........here's why" type of a thing.
Why the is everyone worried about it? Most of these little bas s will forget about it a good 10 minutes after they turn in the homework associated with the speech.
